7 films that were banned in the UK

The British Board of Film Classification or BBFC is in charge of screening movies and films eligible for UK release. They also rate a film whether it is for general public consumption, restricted or X rated.

Over the years, there were several films that were not allowed to be screened on UK soil. One of these is 'Love Camp 7' released in 1969. It was banned not because of its depiction of the Nazi theme, but due to the abhorrent scenes of abuse performed on women in the hands of their captors.

'Women in Cellblock 9' is a film set in the South American jungle prison. It was prohibited in the UK because one of the actresses in the movie was only 16 at that time and performed sexually violent scenes.

'Traces of Death' is more of a documentary than a film. It shows countless scenes of real life deaths. It was directed by Damon Fox. Although it is apparently a very popular title in the home video market, it was banned for UK screening. According to the BBFC, the movie has 'no journalistic, educational or other justifying context for the images shown.'

The horror movie 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre' was a classic such that when the 'The Texas Vibrator Massacre' was made, it was obviously a rehash of the former. In fact, it was nothing more than a pornographic horror movie and the BBFC thought the same.

On a similar note, 'NF713' has been described as' the truest definition of torture porn'.It was banned by the BBFC because the highly graphic scenes were intended to arouse the audience showing a woman being captured, tortured and sexually humiliated into submission.
